Bring your imagination when you come see this 8 full acres of florida beauty.

There are chicken coops for the egg enthusiast and even fenced off pastures and pens for larger farm animals and gardens if you desire. The potential of this property is endless and something you will struggle to find so close to the conveniences of shopping and dining, with the added perk of being so close to the turnpike and other major roadways. It sits just on the outskirts of clermont and minneola, a hot and up and coming area. This is country living at it’s best with privacy and seclusion nestled between montverde (montverde academy is just 3 miles away) and howey-in-the-hills where million dollar homes and estates are prevalent. Green mountain scenic overlook and the ferndale preserve are just around the corner, so if you’re a biking or outdoor enthusiast you will love this location. The home is a 1998, 3 bedroom 2 bath, 1,767 sqft open concept ranch with a newer roof (2021) and water heater. The kitchen is equipped with new appliances and a pantry. It opens up to a dining area and great room. It also has a full length screened porch on the back which has access to the master bedroom. This would be a great place to watch the magnificent sunsets. The owner enclosed part of the garage to add an office with its own mini split ac unit. Presently there are window units added for cooling but the home does have (non working) central ac. (We have reflected that in the price). The wood floors were recently added and the owner has done lots of projects around the house to bring it up to date and to show off its personality. There is a gas fireplace for those chilly nights or you could also sit under the stars and warm up around the outside fire pit that sits next to a covered patio or carport. Presently, the owner is using this area as an outdoor summer kitchen with running hot water and with all the cooking needs to host a fun outdoor entertaining event. There is ample room to add a pool if you desire. The property has a well with a well house and a large (owned) water softening system. There is also separate irrigation for the fenced garden area, which sits in front of the home.
